I am unsatisfied with my service from AHS. On 6/13, I called about a leak in my Air Conditioner unit (Service: #[protected]). As a result of AHS's recommended contractor flushing the AC unit pipe, the sinks became clogged, causing flooding and overflowing.

Due to the damage caused, I called again with a plumbing service request on 6/17 (Service: #[protected]). AHS sent another one of their recommended plumbing companies. This plumber stated it was a pipe leak and they would need to flush the pipes from the attic or roof and needed AHS approval. The contractor left and I called to check the status of the service. AHS informed me at that time the ticket was closed. I was informed this service was not covered after paying for 2 service visits at $125 each. I had to call another plumber not associated with AHS to come and clear the unclogged pipe under the sink. The incorrect diagnosis led AHS to deny my service. Therefore, I had to call an emergency plumbing company after hours to fix the clogged sink to prevent further overflows and damage. It cost me $590 for a second plumber to come to the house.

As a result of my complaint, AHS sent two companies to resolve my issue. As a result of the first technician's actions, the sinks flooded, necessitating a second call for a plumber. I paid for two service visits, neither of which resolved my problem. These were both covered under my warranty. My issues were not only not resolved fully, but the subcontractors made matters worse. Overall, I am disappointed with AHS. I have attached pictures from Sunrise work performed which did not cause the fix quoted by AHS Subcontractor which in resulted in AHS denial services on I paid for in my plan.

Desired outcome: I would like to be paid $705 directly by AHS. The $705 is for $125 in service fees for the 2nd visit (Service: #[protected]) on 6/17, as well as reimbursements paid to the AC Subcontractor for fixing the issue - $590.

6/21/22022: An update that AHS is a scam. Definitely look for a different provider. I was told again that, despite failing to perform the work I paid them to do, they won't cover the out-of-pocket cost I incurred due to the wreckless A/C technician and the unskilled plumber, so I am left with a cost of $900.00. A representative contacted me without carefully listening to my concerns with AHS. She told me they will not reimburse me since it wasn't their subcontractor. However, I paid $125 each for 2 service trips with their subcontractors who didn't properly fix my issue but caused more damage. Therefore, in order to prevent further damage to my home, I had to call a plumber to fix the issue the same day.

AHS should ensure they are hiring the best subcontractors for the job so you do not have to pay out-of-pocket for the other companies to handle the situations you are paying under warranty. If AHS is really a Home Warranty and cares about the interests of their customers, then they should make sure they are getting the most qualified individuals to complete the task at hand. These subcontractors made a bad situation worse, so AHS needs to honor their subcontractors' mistakes and reimburse me for the services I had to pay out of pocket.

I am disappointed and an ex-customer of AHS. The entire process is frustrating. The fact you call with an issue is stressful enough but then having to deal with a fraudulent company that does not honor GOOD WARRANTY Service is tiresome and exhausting.

WARNING: Stay away from AHS as they are scams and do not care for their customers. Take your money and spend your time with a company that has its customers' best interest.

Still no resolution on this company that is a Fraud. They have Outsourced their staffing and the individuals are programmed to respond to your complaint. They have no intent to help resolve your issue with their company.
